"Buzz!" A soul-stirring vibration suddenly occurred.

The azure spacetime portal that Saine saw was then replaced by an endless Space-Time Channel.

Having traveled through the Yellow Sand World before, Saine felt a lot like he did when he first went there via the Teleportation Array Yellow Sand World.

However, compared to the discomfort and almost soul-tearing pain he had experienced before, Saine felt much better now.

If Saine hadn't had a similar experience before, he might have ignored this strangeness altogether.

"As expected of Space Fortress representing the pinnacle of alchemy in Wizard Civilization, its performance in every aspect is truly exceptional?"

"Even this disorienting feeling of traveling through time can be minimized as much as possible in terms of negative impact."

"Of course, it's also possible that after I advanced to Level-1 Magician, my physical constitution and Mental Strength increased significantly, so this kind of time travel puts less strain on my body," Saine rationally analyzed.

The time spent traveling through the Space-Time Channel is not long.

In Saine's subjective perception, they had only been traveling for about a month since they entered the azure spacetime portal.

But a month later, when they arrived at the end of the Space-Time Channel and were about to reach another unfamiliar starry sky...

A report came from the Azure Flame Holy Tower within the Space Fortress: a year has passed in the Time Flow Rate of the Material Star Realm!

"We are about to enter the Number Two War Zone on the outer edge of the Nesser Star Region. There may be sporadic battles breaking out in the starry sky."

"All Mage, please remain calm and stand by in your respective areas."

An aged voice came from the Main Control Room of the Space Fortress and was received by all the Formal Magician in the fortress.

The aged voice came from Fifth Uncle-Master Andres of Saine.

After another violent tremor, the Space Fortress departed from the Space-Time Channel.

When Saine looked out again from inside the room.

The scene that appeared before him was a star field with many stars and dazzling firelight in many places deep in the starry sky.

Unlike the "quiet" and "orderly" Wizard Star Region.

The star field before us is clearly in a state of chaos.

At the edge of Saine's vision, a burst of fire suddenly appeared in the void.

Deep within the pitch-black starry sky, no one knows what exactly happened there.

Near the Space Fortress where Saine was located, countless metal ruins and debris were presented before Saine.

Most of these metal ruins and debris were things that Saine didn't recognize, and they were mostly blue and white in color.

The few ruins and remnants, however, were alchemical creations of the Wizard Civilization that Saine felt a sense of familiarity with. →

For example, near a broken meteorite fragment, Saine saw half of War Airship that was clearly already scrapped.

"It seems the war is still quite intense."

"This is the outer edge of the Nesser Star Region. According to my mentor, most of the Nesser Star Region has been occupied by the Wizard Civilization. The remaining Nesser Civilization legions are just making a last-ditch struggle."

"Could this be another small part of the Nesser Star Region that hasn't been completely occupied by the Wizard Civilization?" Saine wondered to himself.

What Saine was thinking was already the truth.

He is a Mage who is good at discovering and thinking.

This star field before us is indeed the last sanctuary and place of resistance for the Nesser Civilization.

If you follow the direction where the explosions and fires are most frequent, you will arrive at the large plane— the Nesser World —in no more than six months.

An extremely fierce battle between True Spirit Dominator was taking place there.

Saine's master, the Azure Blaze Cuilisi, once said that she herself could hardly interfere too much in the wars of the Poison Fire Green Flame World.

The main reason is that it was a trade-off for the Flame Conclave.

Cuilisi, a powerful Level-6 Magician, will next travel to a Medium Plane surrounding the Nesser World to participate in the war.

And assist the Flame Conclave there in completely taking control of that Medium Plane.

The Poison Fire Green Flame World Saine and his companions are about to travel to is on the opposite side of the star coordinates of the Nesser World.

The Poison Fire Green Flame World is located on the outskirts of the Nesser Star Region. Ever since the Wizard Civilization completely surrounded the Nesser Star Region Nesser Star Region severed its connection with other World Civilization, the Poison Fire Green Flame World has been in a state of constant fear and unease.

As the Strongest in the Poison Fire Green Flame World, the level-five creature Poison Flame Demon King Anruida has surrendered to the Wizard Civilization more than once, expressing his willingness to pay a great price to join the Wizard Alliance.

But unfortunately...

Compared to joining the Wizard Alliance, where they were plundered and exploited by the Wizard Civilization in a slower and more subtle way, this was a far cry from the more subtle and silent exploitation they faced.

Level-6 Magician, represented by Azure Blaze Cuilisi, tend to directly devour the Poison Fire Green Flame World, squeezing out its last bit of value in a relatively short time.

Rumors have been circulating in the Space Fortress that sporadic battles may break out nearby.

In fact, until the three Space Fortress where Saine and the others were located left the Cross-Star Territory Teleportation Array and arrived outside the Poison Fire Green Flame World half a month later, they did not encounter any close combat.

This made Saine, who had always been curious about the Nesser Civilization, feel a little regretful.

"I've heard that the main fighting force of the Nesser Civilization is the Construct Golem Legion. I wonder what's so mysterious and special about it," Saine muttered to himself.

Poison Fire Green Flame World.

This is a Low-Level Plane plane filled with Fire Element, and from the Star Realm perspective, it appears to contain many green poisonous flames.

Compared to the grandeur and vastness of the Wizard World, the Poison Fire Green Flame World is far inferior.

While inside the Space Fortress, Saine could see almost the entire Poison Fire Green Flame World.

Just as the Grandmaster had revealed at the Sect Gathering, the Poison Fire Green Flame World only has two continents, and the space between the continents is filled with a crimson Magma Sea of lava.

The overall area of Poison Fire Green Flame World is estimated to be only slightly larger than the Green Source Land, the area under the influence of the Azure Source Holy Tower in the Wizard World.

This also shows that compared to the grandeur of the Wizard World, the Poison Fire Green Flame World is but a grain of rice.

Of all the beings of level four or above that have been born in this world, only one level five Poison Flame Demon King Anruida, has been discovered so far.

The scarcity of beings at level four or above indicates that the overall strength and potential of this plane are not outstanding.

If this plane hadn't happened to be rich in certain resources needed by the Azure Blaze Sect, it's unlikely that it would have been chosen by the Azure Blaze Cuilisi.

Three massive Space Fortress stand side by side outside the Poison Fire Green Flame World.

This puts immense pressure on this Low-Level Plane where pillars of fire are constantly being generated and molten lava bubbles are bursting.

The level-five creature Poison Flame Demon King Anruida, was not blind. When these three Space Fortress appeared, it felt an almost suffocating pressure.
